Ricky Gervais Confirms David Brent Movie Is Coming!
Life on the Road is due to start shooting in 2015! Find out more here...
Ricky Gervais has confirmed that he will be bringing The Office character David Brent to the big screen in his own movie, Life on the Road.
In a press release, the funnyman announced that he will begin shooting the BBC Films feature in the UK next year.
It read: "We find out what Brent is doing now and what's happened in the last 15 years since his redundancy from his beloved Wernham Hogg.
"He's a sales rep now, selling cleaning products up and down the country, but has never really given up on his dream of being a rock star."
The flick is set to follow Brent's self-funded UK tour, which he believes will end up like "Scorsese shooting The Rolling Stones".
The release continues: "It turns out to be a 'where are they now' documentary. He has to take a few weeks off work and cash in a couple of pensions, because the session musicians in the band are costing him more than he's getting in ticket sales. Tragic."
Gervais portrayed Brent between the years of 2001 - 2003, reprising the role for Comic Relief in 2013.
